Day Six

"Day six" an interactive installation created by Masamichi Udagawa and Sigi Moeslinger of Antenna Design."Day six" is an object activated by the visitor's breath, which plays on the creation myth. Visitors are invited to breathe various randomly selected qualities into their own image via a pair of abstracted nostrils of a mirror. When blowing, one can watch oneself exhaling and inhaling a swarm of images representing qualities such as youth or beauty.

Asamichi Udagawa and Sigi Moeslinger have also developed "blowing gently…". It is a reflection on the ephemeral nature of daydreaming. The memory of a nostalgic childhood trinket, a soap bubble, serves as the inspiration for the central interface, provoking the subtle action of blowing. Visitors become an integral part of the installation, as it is their breathing which unfolds a chain of visual events. By blowing at different lengths and intensities, visitors create and inflate male and female creatures, which subsequently seems to float off into space. Each creature has an individual behavior which causes different reactions when colliding with one another. Eventually all creatures fade away and disappear into a void.
